Mom Answers

thanks alot for all this info, i took my doughter delphine to different pediatricians, i live in a very humid place on the beach so that doesnt help at all! i finally found a good way, i had bought ultra absorbent diappers and a rash cream that is pure zinc oxide, and change my babys diapper every 15 mins or so, at the time she pees. and leave her 1/2 hour a day without diapper. this seems to work out, the rash hasnt gone completely but is better than before, we are going for allergy test soon. i hope this work for other moms too.

There was a child at my dtr's daycare that suffered from terrible diaper rash....creams didnt work, and MD just kept recommending trying different brands until the poor child got blisters down there....turns out she was allergic to carrots! Yes, foods and juices can cause or worsen diaper rash, but you have to be pretty pushy with the MD's to get testing done, especially when no other reactions are happening. Also, be sure that you are diluting your juice....at that age it should be 50/50 juice to water.
When my littlest one got rash that was worsening, her MD told me I could use plain hydrocortisone 2x per day (a TINY amount) along with the diaper rash cream. That's about all I have for you, good luck!
